ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity universal joint adapted to connect drivably a driving shaft to a driven shaft comprising a driving yoke connected to the driving shaft, a driven yoke connected to the driven shaft, a guide slot in the driving yoke with its axis parallel to the axis of the driving shaft, a guide slot in the driven yoke with its axis parallel to the axis of the driven shaft, an intermediate driving member disposed between adjacent ends of the driving shaft and the driven shaft, a drive element situated in each guide slot, said drive elements being carried by the ends of said driving member, means for biasing said intermediate driving member toward a central position whereby the plane of said intermediate driving member bisects the included angle between said driving shaft and said driven shaft, and spherical bearing means for establishing an articulated connection between the adjacent ends of said driving shaft and for supporting said intermediate driving member for universal oscillation.
